parda, Bhojanshala, and two shape-driven PG series

List 12 was about compact readability. List 13 swings the other way — the three-cut parda series, a single standalone Bhojanshala style, the two-cut blob series, and a four-part circ series built around rounded, artwork-friendly letterforms. Ten cuts, none of them meant for long paragraphs.

Four Groups · Ten Cuts

Ten decorative cuts, side by side.

parda_18, parda_28 and parda_38 form one series; pg_bhojanshala_7 stands alone with its own distinct look; pg_blob_7 and pg_blob_8 form a rounder pair; and pg_circ_5_1 through pg_circ_5_4 make up the largest series on the page. Type once and scroll through all ten below.

Four groups, one decorative thread

Where List 12 was one strictly numbered family, List 13 pulls together several small decorative sets — three cuts, one lone style, a pair, and a four-part series — united mainly by being built for display rather than paragraphs. Each name below renders in its own font.

3 cuts

parda_18, parda_28 & parda_38

A three-cut series with shared "parda" roots, distinguished by their trailing numbers.

1 cut · standalone

pg_bhojanshala_7

A single distinctive style that doesn't belong to any of the other three groups on this page.

2 cuts

pg_blob_7 & pg_blob_8

A rounder, bubble-like pair — the name gives a fair sense of the letterform treatment.

4 cuts

pg_circ_5_1 through pg_circ_5_4

The largest series here, four closely numbered variants built around circular, rounded shapes.

Matching font to project

Built for display, not for paragraphs

Every group on this page leans decorative, so the choice tends to come down to the kind of artwork or title you're building rather than readability at length.

01

Posters & banners

The parda series carries enough presence for large-format prints and event banners.

02

Standout single-word titles

pg_bhojanshala_7's distinct look makes it a strong pick for a single word or short title that needs to grab attention.

03

Playful branding

The blob pair suits logos, stickers, and other lighter, more playful design work.

04

Quote images & thumbnails

With four variants to choose from, the circ series gives room to fine-tune a rounded look for social posts and thumbnails.

Good to know

Legacy fonts vs. modern Unicode fonts

All ten fonts on this page — parda, Bhojanshala, blob, and circ alike — are legacy, non-Unicode fonts that map Gurmukhi characters onto custom ASCII key positions.

Modern Unicode fonts Recommended for web

  • Text stays editable, searchable and copy-pasteable everywhere
  • Renders correctly on any device with no font installed
  • Readable by screen readers and indexable by search engines

Legacy fonts This page

  • Tied to a specific keyboard/ASCII mapping — only displays correctly with the matching font installed
  • Common in poster and thumbnail design files that render text as an image
  • Best exported as a flattened image, not pasted directly into social captions
Questions

List 13 FAQ

How is List 13 different from the earlier, more readable lists?

Lists like 10 and 12 focused on weight ramps and compact, readable cuts. List 13's parda, blob, and circ series are shaped more for posters, thumbnails, and artwork than for body text.

Is pg_bhojanshala_7 part of the blob or circ series?

No — it's a standalone cut on this page, distinct from both the two-part blob series and the four-part circ series.

Do the four circ cuts differ much from each other?

Yes, each of the four is its own variant rather than a simple size or weight change, so it's worth previewing all four against your text before picking one.

Can I download the TTF files?

Yes — each preview card includes a TTF download button alongside HD PNG and HD Transparent image exports.
